Title: Fuel filler tube to tank seal O ring
Post by: rayell on August 30, 2005, 10:17:48 AM
I have taken the gas tank off to clean it, and can"t find a o-ring seal  that seals the filler pipe to the tank.  Does anyone  know where I can find a new one?  Do you have a part number for a 1974 model ? Are all models the same for this seal?

Hi...I am relatively new on this site but wonder if you ever found out what to do about this seal issue...I have a 1929 Mercedes Gazelle replica powered by a 2.3 Pinto (donor car was 1974 Pinto 2 door) and have the same issue...The seal area smells gassy and only when I fill up I can smell gas for a time, then when tank gas gets lower the smell is gone so obviously I will need to replace that seal...Any input would be appreciated...

I actually picked up a new one on Ebay. You just have to watch for them, they show up from time to time.

I got mine from my local ford dealership for about $13.74 w/tax. If you have an old dealship/warehouse I'd check there first. They had three in stock at the time.
